- The wall," I nodded to the clone.
The rising wall of earth, normally capable of holding back most jutsu, was wiped out by a huge rasengan with no resistance at all.
- Huh, a great weapon against large summons even in this form," I rubbed my chin thoughtfully, "It's a bit costly, but it's worth it.
- Boss, try forming a short dart and throwing it," the assistant suddenly spoke up, "if I'm right, it'll be entertaining and useful.
- О?! That's a great idea! - I understood his idea in a flash.
Forming a spear in the construct's hand, I threw it at the far end of the training ground. The result was immediate, as the spear exploded into the ground with a bright flash, causing me to cover my eyes. When I blinked, I saw a crater about four meters in diameter at the site of the explosion.
- As expected," the clone muttered, looking at the aftermath of the test of an idea.
Losing the stabilizing factor of my control, the tightly compressed chakra exploded at the slightest external impact, here, contact with the soil. I suppose a similar thing would happen in the event of a collision with any technique the spear hits.
- Come on!
The senbons that emerged between the construct's fingers set off on their previous course, forming six smaller pits. Carpet bombing, bijou be damned! But quite costly, judging by the slight tarnishing of the construct. And the less chakra in it, the less defense it has.
Although... If you try to add the Congo Fusa: Goriathe no Kouchikubutsu (Adamant Sealing Chains: Goliath Construct) property to compact from Raiton: Bakeneko no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Demon Cat Technique), the combat potential will remain at the same level, albeit with a gradually decreasing size. But, it will allow you to use almost all of the invested chakra and focus on a protracted fight, not risking much, even if you have to take on the chest powerful jutsu one after another.
I should also work on the demon cat technique to make it autonomous without the creator's control, as there is an example to draw from - Suiton: Goshokuzame (Water Release: Five Hungry Sharks) will definitely allow me to bring it into the A-rank, increasing my arsenal of really strong techniques. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the ones I know are Bee-ranked and below, which isn't enough to fight an opponent of Kakuzu's level, even if you use combinations of elements. Nukenin had clearly demonstrated this fact to me in practice.
- Okay, the test was a success," I sighed, dispelling the construct and turning to the clone, I asked, "Any comments from your side?
- No, boss, it was a good technique," he shook his head, "I just need to refine it to a few stages of use, and also try using a regular rasengan with this chakra - I thought it was much more powerful than the usual one.
Due to the density of the chakra? Possibly.
- And also try to create an elemental variant," I nodded, getting out of the suit and tossing it to the clone, "you do that, you'll be done for a couple or three hours, and I'm going to bed.
I just haven't had the time to deal with this issue before, despite the solid potential - I don't have the elements to go off the beaten path.
- Got it, boss, sleep well," the kage bunshin waved.
